Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Cupcakes:
    • 1 box strawberry cake mix
    • 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
    • 1/2 cup milk

    For the Glaze:

    1. 1 cup powdered sugar
    2. 1 tsp strawberry extract
    3. 2 tbsp butter, melted
    4. 2 tbsp milk
    5. 2 tbsp hot water

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cupcake Batter:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease a mini muffin pan or line it with mini cupcake liners.
    • In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, eggs, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and milk.
    • Mix until smooth and fully combined, following the instructions on the cake mix box for any additional steps.
  • Bake the Mini Cupcakes:
    • Spoon the batter into the mini muffin pan, filling each cup about 2/3 of the way full.
    • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Once baked, turn the muffin pan over onto a wire rack so that all the mini cupcakes are upside down. Let them cool completely.
  • Make the Glaze:
    • While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry extract, melted butter, milk, and hot water. Stir until smooth and the glaze reaches a drizzle-able consistency.
  • Glaze the Cupcakes:
    • Once the mini cupcakes have cooled completely, dip each cupcake upside down into the glaze, ensuring it is well-coated.
    • Place the glazed cupcakes back on the wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    • Once the glaze has firmed up, serve these Glazed Mini Strawberry Cupcakes as a sweet treat for any occasion!

Notes

  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
  • You can substitute the strawberry extract with vanilla or almond extract for a different flavor.
